……………………………………………………
The short but bloody journey, the Qin troops on the left and right flanks within just three hundred steps combined had at least 4,000 casualties, but no one left for them to say a word except for the officers who gave orders and screamed when they were wounded.
This is a silent army, not only suppressing itself, but also giving the enemy a huge pressure from the spirit. They suffered heavy casualties but still charged forward with determination, all of which showed what it means to be resilient and durable.
Nearly one hundred and fifty paces, another officer in the Qin army was giving orders, and arrows were fired from the hands of the archers who were running with their bows and arrows open, and finally made their first counterattack.
Ji Bu adheres to Lu Zhe's combat philosophy, no matter what the environment is, the first thing he should do is to let himself have a layer of turtle shell, so it is no surprise that the arrows shot from the Qin army are either blocked by the sword and shield car or the shield wall. He looked out through the gap in the sword and shield cart, and the front of the Qin army was already close to a distance of a hundred paces from his side, and he should order the sword and shield cart to move when he was about fifty paces closer.
Mei Kai, who was standing on top of the nest car, could see more clearly, and different instructions had been conveyed. The blocking segment will be the next firing rhythm of the three-shot bed crossbow and the crossbowmen, and the intention is, of course, to use the covering arrow rain to stop the Qin army in two as much as possible. Phalanxes of archers with close firing ranges will also receive new orders, and they will shoot small areas in conjunction with their melee units, clearing the more threatening areas of their side one by one.
There were already Qin troops approaching fifty paces, and Ji Bu gave the order to push the sword and shield cart forward.
The immovable sword and shield car can be used as a cover, and the moving knife and shield car is its real function. Each of the sword and shield carts had a dense network of sharp blades about two feet (forty-six centimeters) in length, and once they were pushed into running, the outward blades were literally dead.
The sword and shield chariot was originally created to target the charioteers of the Qin army. However, when Sima Xin went south, it was estimated that he felt that the terrain was not suitable and did not carry charioteers at all, Xu Yan's 20,000 charioteers had been staying in Sanchuan County, but there were 10,000 charioteers under Wang Ben, who was fighting in the Central Plains, and played a terrifying combat effectiveness in the battle of Taiyuan County.
Shiruma led his troops to attack on the left flank, and he didn't know how many of his men had been killed by stone bullets, thick crossbow arrows, and crossbow arrows fired by the enemy, but he didn't really care at all. As he ran, he looked at the sword and shield cart in front of him in the faint light of fire, and his head was full of thinking about how to break through the hedgehog-ridden defense, but he didn't expect that after approaching fifty paces, the enemy was actually pushing the sword and shield cart wall forward, which made his face instantly become very ugly.
The stationary sword and shield car wall allows the spearmen to fold into a human ladder and always be able to kill, and the sword and shield car wall that is constantly pushing forward who dares to build a human ladder is afraid that they will be killed and injured by the advancing blade just after they are in a pose.
"Damn it!"
Shima scolded in his heart. They had to pay a heavy price to get closer, and if they couldn't break through or broke slowly, how many casualties should they pay in front of the enemy's sword and shield walls?
It's impossible to retreat, they've spilled blood all the way, and it's impossible to retreat even if there's no way for the time being.
Finally, Qin soldiers rushed to the front of the sword and shield car wall, but they rushed to be a little dazed, and they were all anxious about how to start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.
Although there was fire in the night, there was no way to see everything during the charge, and the first one rushed to the front and tripped over the corpse. Some of the people who stopped the charge were even hit with the sharp blades of the sword and shield cart, and as a result, they died without saying a word.
Shibuya saw a scene of a soldier being knocked into a sword and shield cart by his robe. When he saw that scene, he somewhat understood how to kill it, that is, to use people. The blades piled up to the sword and shield car lose their lethality, and they are piled up to make the sword and shield car unable to move forward!
"Build a shield wall, then bring up the corpses from behind!" Shima is very decisive.
The Qin soldiers who carried out the order were even more decisive, and they respected the remains of the robes who died in battle. However, no one will hesitate to exert the residual heat on the battlefield, after all, war is war, and life or death is just for victory.
Actually. If Lu Zhe saw that the Qin army knew how to build a shield wall but made a fuss about the corpse of the dead robe, he would definitely be dumbfounded, since the shield wall had already been built, why not let the spearmen put their weapons in front of the sword and shield cart to make it resist, and then cover the shield wall with the sharp blade of the sword and shield cart to build an inclined road, wouldn't it be the same as being able to climb over it?
Ji Bu arranged for the tower shield soldiers to build an inclined wall, and he asked the vine armor soldiers and spearmen to go up, cooperating with one to focus on defense and one to attack specifically, killing and injuring Qin soldiers from top to bottom. Some archers also climbed up, constantly reporting the ruler to the arrow array behind, and the arrow array followed by the arrow array covering the denser Qin pawn position in the form of projectiles.
Shibuma, who had already ordered the corpse to be moved, was stunned when he saw the figure of the enemy on the sword and shield cart, and he reacted that his old face was a little red, which was anger and shame. There was never any face on the battlefield, and he immediately made a change, and ordered the shielded soldiers to do the same.
The Qin soldiers, who had full combat experience, used spears to hold the handle of the small round shield one after another, and shouted after building each other one by one, and they were about to push up and catch the enemy's sword and shield cart, but they obviously ignored that they did not block the advance of the enemy's sword and shield cart, and as a result, they either hurriedly retreated or were stabbed to death by a sharp blade in the advance of the sword and shield cart, not to mention that there was a sergeant Lu Zhe on it who was constantly stabbing out a spear three zhang long.
The front was fiercely fighting, and the rear troops that had been reorganized had been waiting for the order of Lu Zhe, the commander of the whole army.
And what about Lu Zhe? He was constantly listening to the war reports.
The left and right wings of the Qin army were blocked by sword and shield vehicles, and the two sides were now basically killing each other by the advantage of arrows, and it seemed that their own side had taken a big advantage because of their adequate preparations, and Lu Zhe would not press the remaining 100,000 people in this situation.
It is to bleed the Qin army, not to achieve a successful defensive battle, and the two sides will not fight to press down the 100,000 army, then the Qin army will retreat to the camp as long as it is not stupid, and the results that can only be achieved can be the results of the long-range troops of the front troops.
If Lu Zhe wants to bleed the Qin army, it takes patience and ruthlessness.
What Su Lie's department may not be able to hold on to be annihilated. Whatever stalemate in the battle will cause casualties to the troops in front, as long as the maximum "benefit" can be achieved from the initial layout, then these can happen.
The three counties together have been close to 80,000 soldiers for at least half a year, and only a small number of them have fought real battles, that is, the most difficult period of Lu Zhe and Baiyue.
Now the number of Lu Zhe's soldiers concentrated in this battlefield is 45,000 people, they usually eat and drink well is just a drill, but as a soldier, there is a price to eat and drink well, at this moment they are well-equipped, occupy the defensive advantage, and have the advantage of arrows and arrows that the Qin army can have, and there are still 100,000 troops in the rear ready to go. Lu Zhe didn't let them resist the strongest army in the world for a while, see the gap between themselves and the strong army, and use it to make up for their own shortcomings, so how long will they wait?
"Lord! The left and right flanks of the Qin army have successfully erected shield walls, and our soldiers and Qin soldiers have already started a fierce battle on the shield walls erected on both sides. ”
"Probe!"
"Lord! Our army was defeated in the white-knuckle battle, and some of the Qin soldiers had already entered the sword and shield car defense circle. ”
"Probe!"
"Lord! General Ji and General Zhou each led Pu Dao soldiers to kill the Qin soldiers, and once again maintained the battle line on the shield walls erected on both sides of the sword and shield carts. ”
"Probe!"
Back and forth, the information was confirmed about every quarter of an hour, and Lu Zhe was expressionless every time he said the word "revisit". On the contrary, the civil and military officers next to them will show different expressions of excitement, excitement, or worry and worry because of the different statements of the scouts.
Zhang Liang, who had not yet left, was a bystander in this war, and he did not know Lu Zhejun and knew a little about Qin Jun. Judging from the continuous reports, Su Lie's department, which had 6,000 troops into the Qin camp, was being besieged by more than 20,000 Qin troops. And the Ji Bu and Mei Kai subordinates of the forward defense line also carried at least 40,000 Qin troops.
The Qin army is the strongest army in the world, as long as it is a Chinese person, you have to agree that the earliest batch of Lu Zhe's army has only been in army for nine months, and it is rumored that it has defeated Baiyue and annihilated 50,000. There was also a great army that took Hengshan County under the half moon, but when Zhang Liang heard that Lu Zhe's army in front of him was actually outnumbered and defeated by the Qin army, although he was prepared for battle. But he really couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart.
"Lu Hou governs the army......" Zhang Liang was interrupted in the middle of his words by a scout who came on a fast horse.
"Lord! The Qin army followed one another, and the two sword and shield walls of our army were occupied at the same time, and General Ji and General Zhou repeatedly led the army to fight without success, and the Qin soldiers saw that they were about to push away the sword and shield car walls. ”
"Really? After less than half an hour, I finally began to be unable to resist? Once the sword and shield wall is pushed open, then the Qin army can kill it on a large scale. It's also time......" Lu Zhe, who sighed in his heart, slowly raised his right arm, glanced at the slight whiteness of the east, and waved his raised right arm down vigorously: "The whole army attacked." ”
The same desolation, the sound of the horn dotted the fish white of the east, and the 100,000 army shouted in unison after the horn stopped, "Ho! Ho! Ho! The shouts of the officers were also continuous, and then the neat sound of war drums was rhythmically beaten, and 100,000 pairs of big heels followed the drum beat, and the sound of mighty footsteps was transmitted between heaven and earth.
There were many people attracted by the sound of horns and war drums, and after the sound of neat steps rumbled, Sima Xin closed his eyes with a complicated face, and whispered softly: "I know, I know ......."
Shiruma, who was trying to tear through the spearmen's defense line of the Jibu organization, was stunned in the middle of his shout, and he heard the sound of retreat from the military camp behind him, and he was stunned, and his eyes closed in pain and howled sadly, calling his soldiers to retreat.
Su Lie in the second camp of the Qin army was covered in blood, and the six thousand soldiers he led resisted the Qin army for half an hour, and there were only less than three thousand left, and if there was no fire dragon wall to delay the pace of the Qin army's attack, it was still unknown whether there would be three thousand people left.
The withdrawal of the Qin army was a complete retreat, Su Lie looked at the Qin soldiers who retreated to the third camp like a tide, wiped the blood on his face and called out his own soldiers to slowly withdraw.
When he was about to leave the Qin army camp, Su Lie, who was wearing heavy armor and covered in blood, had an extremely complicated face: "The end of the ...... just started" After speaking, he raised his feet and officially walked out of the camp. (To be continued......)
